About Our Services

"The majority of our work is compulsory purchase and compensation"

 ...but this is one situation where less really is more.

Compulsory Purchase and compensation work is a complex and specialised field, which for a typical High Sreet general practice may represent only a minor element of its overall instructions. As a niche practice specialising in this field of work we have the experience and knowledge to provide you with the advice and services you need to deal with your specific issues. No two cases are ever the same and this is especially so in the field of compulsory purchase and compensation where a significant element of the work is related to personal loss.

....and don't think a reduced range of services means a reduced calibre of practitioner. 

Far from it in fact. Individuals and organisations of all sizes are affected by compulsory works, from the most minor of personal interests to major global corporations. The range of skills and knowledge required to assess, quantify and negotiate compensation for these losses is very wide indeed encompassing a significant area of land and property law and valuation.

The Statutory Compensation code is a complex assortment of statutes, rules and regulations that underpins what is, to most affected parties, a disconcerting and emotive situation to have to deal with. The nature of the work requires attention to detail and may require actions to be taken and responses to be made in accordance with prescribed time limits. We will take a proactive role in administering, advising and guiding you through the maze of processes and ensure that you are properly and fairly treated and, where appropriate,  receive full and proper compensation for your losses.     

.......it really is a fine balancing act.

Achieving the right balance between public gain and private loss in the modern world of privatised utility companies and Private Finance Initiatives is no straightforward task: with Strafford Associates at your service you can be assured  of having taken the right step to strike that balance.
